How is it that the experience of death and desolation
in the Holocaust, the great Jewish redemptive tradition of justice,
has not propelled more, far more, Israelis to speak up on the treatment
of the Palestinians?

The "state" will apparently be comprised
of three enclaves cut off from one another inside the West Bank - in
addition to the Gazan enclave, and with no guarantee the settlements
inside the enclave will be dismantled

The Road Map- the Palestinians can have a state
on 42 percent of the 80 percent of the 22 percent of 100 percent of
their original homeland. And live permanently behind a concrete and
electrified fencing

Israel's "acceptance" of the road map
is without any commitment to its goal of a viable, independent Palestinian
state. It is an effort to buy time and pleaseAmerica which keeps the
Israeli economy and military afloat

India has invited Israeli prime minister Ariel
Sharon to visit the country in the second week of June.The BJP's fascination
with Zionism is rooted in Islamophobia (and anti-Arabism), and hyper-nationalism
